"Help us." "Save us." That was all that came out as the bright glow engulfed the D-Team. The same voices said the same thing over and over.
"How? How can we help?" Max asked as he pushed buttons on his Dino Holder, trying to get something to happen.
"Can you at least tell us who you are?" Rex asked,
"Maybe they can't hear us," Zoe suggested.
The glowing continued for a while until finally, it subsided. Spike slowly walked up to the kids, trying not to hopefully unleash any supernatural, freaky magic. "Uh, kids? Is there a problem with your Dino Holders?"
"Dad, it's talking to us!" Max exclaimed. Zach and Chomp both shook their heads trying to recover from whatever trip that was.
"Wait, you're serious!?" Spike asked. After getting a confirmation nod from the four kids, Spike had a huge smile on his face, like he had just won the lottery. "Yes! I was right! In your face, Reese!"

the D-Team went to the D-Lab to figure out more about this case. Right now, the four Dino Holders were laid out on a desk with Spike and the kids looking down at them. Chomp was currently exploring the D-Lab, as this was his first time there.
"So, it was asking you for help?" Spike asked trying to get the full story.
"Yeah. You guys think maybe it was the dinosaurs communicating to us through the stones?" Rex asked.
"That could be." Spike theorized. "It's most likely they're asking for protection from those Alpha Gang members you went up against." The group then started to have flashbacks of their encounter.
"Who were they?" Max asked himself as he recalled the fight they had less than an hour ago. "They attacked Chomp with their T-Rex for no reason. And then when they were hit by an Electric Move it turned into a card. None of this makes any sense at all!" While this is going on, Chomp was currently biting on the skeleton of a Placerias. Trying to find an apparent weak spot on the large object, and failing.
"I bet you they found some stones, too." Max finally said to the rest of the group. They could only nod in agreement. But that only made them more curious. Just how many stones were there?
"Zoe!" The group turned and saw Reese coming down the stairs. "Must I remind you, you're supposed to call before stopping by?" The older girl said to her sister.
Zoe mentally slapped herself. "Sorry. I forgot."
Reese just sighed. "Whatever, just remember next time, OK?" She then turned to Spike. "Dr. Taylor, you got a call from Dr. Owen." She said as she held up a phone with a picture of another paleontologist on it, a blonde-haired man with a beard and mustache wearing glasses and a brown beret giving a peace sign and sticking his tongue out.
"My dad?!" Rex exclaimed.
"Doh! I'm always losing that thing!" Spike said as he checked his jacket for holes before chuckling nervously.
He grabbed the phone from Reese and plugged it into the screen, which was a holographic earth. Immediately, the picture of the doctor enlarged and was sent into video mode. As the picture appeared, Spike could only smile at his friend. "Ah, Dr. Owen. Dug up anything new?"
Said doctor could only smirk. "I found a funny bone." He then began to laugh as he shook his hands around before giving his college two thumbs up. "Hahahahahaha! What's all the fossil about?"
Spike only chuckled and copied what he did. "Mmmhmmhmmhmmhmm! Dinosaur jokes!"
The two then began to partake in a really bad dance routine. The only thing worse was their "song" going. "What makes di-no-saurs ex-tinct! Not ta-king a bath we think! Dig it!" Needless to say, everyone sweatdropped or Laughed at this minus Chomp who just walked over to see what was going on.
"Think...Stink. Smelly dinosaurs. Yep, it's still funny." Spike said to himself.
"When will that joke get old for them." Max whispered to Rex.
"Probably when they're extinct." Was the blonde's reply.
"Hehe." Dr. Owen had a quick laugh before regaining his composure. "Anyway, I have news regarding those Dinosaur Cards you told me about. More cards have been found."
"What!?" Everyone exclaimed at the same time as they all smushed to the screen. Not even two days and already more cards have been found.
Dr. Owen began to explain his discovery. "I'm here at a dig site in Alberta, Canada. Along with some amazing fossils, we also found two more cards." He then showed the two cards to the D-Team. Rex and Zoe instantly recognized them.
"Carnotaurus!" Rex exclaimed.
"And a Parasaurolophus!" Exclaimed Zoe.
As Dr. Owen flipped over the cards they noticed something. The Carnotaurus Card had a Wind Symbol on the back, while the Parasaurolophus Card had a Grass Symbol, something Rex and Zoe quickly noticed. "Look, Zoe. Those markings on the back." Rex pointed out to her.
"They match the stones we found." Zoe finished the blonde's thought.
Chomp was really bored. Deciding to bite something for stimulation, the little Triceratops began to chomp on Max's leg, causing the boy to fall over and attempt to get his attacker off him. "Ouch! Chomp, let go!" He yelped at the sudden attack.
It was then Dr. Owen finally noticed his son. "Ah, Rex, is that you, my boy?"
"Dad, I've been here the whole time," Rex said with a deadpan tone and look.
"I sure hope you're behaving yourself at the Taylors' house. Do I have to give my speech again?" He asked as he leaned up close to the screen.
Rex backed away a bit, obviously crept out by his dad. "No, that's fine, Dad." He reassured. "But could you possibly send the cards over to us?"
"I sure can. I'll overnight them to the lab and you should have them first thing tomorrow morning." The paleontologist then turned to Spike. "Anyway, Dr. Taylor, I look forward to your analysis. And Rex, you can learn a lot from Dr. Taylor so pay close attention, OK?"
"Yeah, I will." Rex nodded at his father.
"Hey! Rex's dad, did you find a card for me?" Zach asked.
"Ah Zach, Unfortunately, I have not found a card for you. "Sorry to disappoint you." Dr. Owen said, "Sadly."
"Uhh!" "Are you sure?!" Zach asked again but got another nod from the paleontology. His face is sadly set for a bit, but he gives another smile. "No matter, I'll find my own partner somehow! Shishishi."
"All right then, I've got to get back to the dig." "See you, call if you need anything, and I'll send those cards right over to you. Bye!" Dr. Owen said before hanging up.
The screen then turned off and Spike unplugged his phone. Rex and Zoe looked down at Max, who was now being tickled by Chomp's biting. "Stop biting me, Chomp! Please! Aah!" He laughed.
"I can't believe you and I will get our own dinosaurs by tomorrow! This'll be awesome!" Rex exclaimed with a smile on his face. Now they wouldn't feel so left out.
Zoe could only have hopeful eyes. "I hope I get a really cute one!"
Zach put his hands behind his back as he gave a toothy grin. "Don't forget about me; I'm sure I'll find my own partner as strong as can be!" He stated as a fact.
The only one who wasn't happy was Dr. Taylor. "What about me?! If anyone should have a dinosaur it's me!" He cried. He then grabbed the Dino Holders and began biting them, trying to get them open. "I just have to figure out the secret of these things!" He exclaimed as he kept on trying.
"Uh, Dad?" Max asked with a deadpan look as he got up with Chomp on his head.
Reese came over with some books and grabbed the Dino Holders from Spike's hand. "The stones chose Max and the others because they touched them first. Show a little self-control." It was times like this Reese forgot she was a lot younger than Spike, and frankly, everyone else did too. Spike could only slump in defeat.
"Uh, Reese, what are those you're carrying?" Max asked as he and Zoe started backing away from the books.
"Dino Holder manuals." She said as she tossed them each manuals, unaware she was crushing Spike's hand, or simply didn't care. "They're to be used for more than swiping your cards. There's a carrier for the stones and extra cards as well."
"This'll take a year to read!" Max exclaimed. Even Rex felt like this was a little big for a manual.
Zoe could only glare at her sister. "You know, you may like sitting inside and studying all day! But some of us like to have fun! Maybe you should try that!" Reese's response was simply letting go of Spike's hand, allowing the doctor to fall to the floor.
Max leaned forward and looked at his dad. "So, Dad, what's the deal with Dr. Owen? I thought we were going to keep the whole thing about the cards a secret. Did you change your mind and tell every dinosaur expert in the world?"
"No, Other than us, Owen and Phil are the only ones who know. Owen is my colleague, and I've learned a lot from him." Spike answered as he got back up.
Hearing his uncle's name, Zach smiles a bit. "Cool, he knows it's a secret too."
"You guys are forgetting, there are others," Rex said with a serious tone.
"Who?" Spike asked.
"Dad? Remember? The Alpha Gang." Max said.
At the Alpha Gang's hidden island, things were not going well. After getting word that the mission failed, Dr.Z was furious. And he was letting everyone know about it.
"Unacceptable! Un-ac-ceptable!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. "How did some snobbish kids get their filthy hands on my cards! And how did you three not get them back!" The angry doctor was currently facing a bunch of lit up equipment that could have been mistaken for lava lamps. In some were cards and small animals, while others had elements like wind and fire. Since the kids had some trump cards, they were going to need some as well.
Rod and Laura were also present during the doctor's experiments. Laura took one look at the equipment and turned to her brother, who could only nod grimly. "Grandpa, the energy level's too high."
"She's right." Rod added. "And the way we pieced the equipment together it could blow at any minute." Dr.Z looked at both his grandkids and listened to what they said. Maybe he could tone it down a little.
"Yeah, and that's not the only thing." Ed commented as he and his two fellow teammates were also present at the time, all feeling really uneasy at the doctor's sour mood that came when they told him about their failure. Ursula and Zander could only nod nervously at Ed's comment.
And it was at that comment Dr.Z instantly forgot about toning down the equipment. He leapt into the air in front of his minions and began shaking his fists wildly. "You fools! You think this is a joke?! Move Cards are my specialty! And once I make the perfect ones, I will teach those kids a lesson once and for all since my crack team of professionals couldn't handle it themselves! I'll take it upon myself to bring those kids to tears!" Seth, who was also in the room, simply left without saying a word. He had better things to do than listen to his boss' temper tantrums.
As Dr.Z landed on the ground, he failed to notice the equipment starting to glow. But his two grandkids defiantly did. "OK, Grandpa, we have to go study." Laura said as she and her brother left. If their calculations were correct, the blast should only destroy the whole room and not get to them if they're far away enough.
The A-Trio had the same idea. "I-uh-hear Seth calling." Ursula said nervously.
"I hear my mother calling." Zander said.
"I hear nature calling." Ed added as the trio attempted to leave the room. Keyword: attempt.
Dr.Z wasn't fooled by his minions' excuses. "Stop right there!" He ordered the three. "You three will stay right here until my experiment is finished. Understood?!"
"Yes, sir." All three droned as they slumped over. Maybe, if they were lucky, the blast would kill them.
The equipment began to glow even brighter, as did smile. "Here it comes! My ultimate creation!" He thought as he opened his arms, laughing maniacally.
The energy in the equipment began to rattle and fizz. Heat and steam spilled everywhere and then the whole thing exploded. Leaving Dr. Zee, Ursula, Zander, and Ed stripped off their top clothing layers. Then Terry ran from the scene coughing and spluttering.
And if this could get any worse, Helga soon marched into the destroyed room. And boy was she pissed. "I'd like to speak with you in private, Dr.Z." She said calmly yet angrily. The doctor tensed up at her threat. "But, in the meantime, I want this mess cleaned up by dinner team or there will be no dinner time!" Dr.Z sighed as anime-style tears came out from his eye. This was not a good way to spend the afternoon.
Later in Egypt, a capsule, just like the one Chomp and Terry were in, opened up. Inside it was a card and a stone with three drops of water as the symbol. The desert wind blew against the card and sent the one flying away from the pyramids and into a city. The card landed right by a table that two men just finished eating from. One of them bumped against the table and caused his drink to fall. The cup opened up and water spilled on the card. Immediately, the card started glowing blue, as did the knob on the stone far away, and another dinosaur emerged.
The dinosaur was mostly gray, except the upper half of its body was purple, going along from its eyes to its back, with a large gray spot near the color border. Most notable about this one was its, large claws with three fingers, crocodile-like mouth, and most of all, a blue sail-arch on its back with purple outlining its top and bottom. The dinosaur was a Spinosaurus, and it let out a loud roar to signal its entrance. (Spiny is the only dinosaur that is accurate to the real Spinosaurus that we have. why? because I can)
Back at Zeta Point, in the dining room, Terry the Tyrannosaurus was eating his meat from his doggie bowl, which had his name on it. The alpha gang and Dr. Z were eating their dinner at the table, but the doctor was hiding his vegetables under his plate. Soon we hear a beeping sound coming from the alpha scanner.
"Dr. Z, no toys at the table!" Helga said angrily. Clearly, she did not get the situation.
"I know that, but how can I eat when another one of my cards has been located." The doctor said without even looking up from the scanner. He then looked at his trio of henchmen. "Ursula! Zander! And Ed! We're off on another capture mission!"
"Yes, sir!"
"No, you're not!" Everyone immediately got tick-marks as Helga stopped them from getting up. The maid had a red aura surrounding her as she glared at the four. "No one is leaving until I see every plate is clean!"
Dr. Z could only slump down in his seat. "Yes, Helga."
"And don't think I don't know about those vegetables you have hidden under your plate, Doctor." The maid said as she looked down.
"Aah!" The doctor got extremely nervous and tried to find an excuse. "Those aren't mine, they're Ed's."
But that didn't work as Helga began to discipline him. "I wasn't asking!" She said this before the sound of smacking filled the room. As this happened, Terry finished his bowl and walked off to go somewhere else.
At the same time, Max and his family were also having dinner. Just like with Dr. Z, Max was trying to hide his vegetables. However, he did much better as he had a miniature Triceratops to feed them to. So while he wolfed down the parts he actually could stomach, Chomp was getting a proper feast of his own. He also didn't have his visor on, as was a rule for the table.
Rex normally ate all of his food, but today he was barely able to eat any of it. The excitement was eating him. "Dr. Taylor, do you know when the cards are going to get here?" He asked, looking up from his dinner.
Spike thought for a bit. "I believe your dad said he'd ship them Double Express, which means they should be here at about 7:12 tomorrow morning." He said before quickly adding. "Uh, give or take."
Again, the excitement was eating the blonde away. "Awesome! Soon I might have a partner of my own!"
"What do you mean by partner?" Rex froze as Aki asked the question. Him and his big mouth.
"Oh, because Rex wants a dinosaur just like Chomp," Zach said, thinking this was free information to give. At that moment, Max, Rex, and Spike froze. As they began to sweat, Aki looked at Zach in a shocked and surprised manner. as The boys thought in their minds, "Idiot!"
Aki raises an eyebrow at Zach, well aware that he can say quite outlandish things. "Zach I do admire your enthusiasm for dinosaurs. It's quite enjoyable to have that childlike wonderment about it. But please don't confuse Chomp or other animals with dinosaurs." She said.
"I was—" Spike quickly gave Zach another meat stick to stuff in his mouth before he spoke again.
Thankfully for the boys, Spike knew what to say. "I guess having Dinosaur knowledge is just confusing Zach's brain, you know? Well, Rex is planning on getting a dog just like Max has, right!" Rex only nodded as the doctor chuckled nervously.
Aki noticed their odd behavior but decided to ignore it. "So we'll have two dogs, then? Remember who will be taking care of them." She cheered with a smile. Rex only nodded his head as he went back to eating. Aki then noticed something on her son's plate. "Max, you ate all the green peppers and carrots!"
Max could only smile smugly. "Oh, yeah! You made the vegetables extra good tonight! Could I have some more, if that's OK with you at least? Pass the broccoli, please!"
Zach looked down at Chomp, seeing him licking his lips and enjoying the vegetables he had. Then, after Max has asked for more broccoli, Zach snatches his hamburger and eats it.
Max returns to his plate, only to discover that his hamburger has vanished. He had a feeling who did it. "Hay Zach? "Do you know what happened to my burger?" Max Question him, Zach began to sweat as Max examined him closely, noticing crumbs on his face.
Making Zach put on a bad lie while his eyes wandered aimlessly."No, I didn't." He said obviously lying
"I can see the crumbs on your face!" Max was about to press on, but his phone began ringing, getting his attention, so he pulled it out, noticing the contact was from Zoe.
"No cell phones at the table, Max." Aki reminded him.
"It's from Zoe. Let me take this." Max said as he left the table. He answered the call and saw Zoe on the screen. And judging by the look on her face, something had happened. "What's up, Zoe?"
Zach wipes off the sweat on his face. "I thought I was dead." He said this as he bit into his meat.
"Turn on the news! Hurry up! Don't just stand there, Max!"
"The news?" Max went to the living room and turned on the TV.
Immediately, the news showed up and showed the Spinosaurus going on its rampage as people ran in terror. "Another dinosaur!" Spike said as he ran up and grabbed the screen. "And this time it's a Spinosaurus!"
The screen soon zoomed out as an anchorwoman appeared on the screen. "We have just revived these reports from Egypt where a live dinosaur has appeared near the Pyramids of Giza."
"No!" Max gasped.
"In Egypt!" Rex exclaimed as he looked at the screen.
"He looks pretty strong, I wonder…." Zach stared at the Spinosaurus.
All three of their Dino Holders soon started blinking a small light. "What's this light?" The trio asked.
"All citizens have been forced to take immediate shelter." The Anchorwoman said. "But, thankfully, there have been no reports of injuries." The screen the Spinosaurus was on soon cut to static when he lunged at the camera. "Now a word from our sponsor."
The whole team regrouped at the D-Lab an hour later to discuss their plans. Spike had the idea to take a plane, but he was having little to no success.
"What?! There are no flights until tomorrow night! You must understand, I have to get to Egypt right away!"
As he was arguing on the phone, Reese hooked up the Dino Holders to her computer to try and get some idea on the glowing. "So, does it say in the manual why the Dino Holder lights up like this?" Max asked.
"I guess this means you didn't read the manual." Reese assumed without needing to look up from her computer.
"Yep!" Zach replied smiling.
"I did. The whole thing." Rex answered. Of course the only responsible one would do what he is told.
Max didn't believe him. "No, you didn't! You must have skipped pages, or skimmed through the whole thing!"
"No, I didn't!" Rex objected. "Maybe if you bothered to read you'd notice most of it is just blank pages."
"What's the deal with that, Reese?" Zoe asked as she flipped through her own manual to see if Rex was right, which he was
"There's still so much we don't know about the stones and cards." Reese explained. "So every time we make a new discovery we'll then add it to your manual."
Zoe could only just look at her sister like she was nuts. "Too much time on your hands?"
Zoe could only just look at her sister like she was nuts. "Too much time on your hands?"
Soon, Reese noticed something. "Well, this is interesting." She lifted up her glasses to get a better look. The others came by and saw a map of the world. On the map were two blinking lights. One in Japan, where they were, and one in Egypt.
"Look! That's where the Spinosaurus appeared!" Zoe announced as she pointed at the blinking dot.
"So it seems the Dino Holders were telling you when and where a new dinosaur appeared." Reese declared.
"No way! For sizzle maz dizzle dog!" Spike said as he ended his call a joined up with the others looking at the computer.
Max only looked at his dad in embarrassment. "Dad, you need to spot listening to so many funky music videos, OK?"
"Uh, how long would walking take?" Zach asked, not exactly understanding what he was looking at.
"Too long if it were possible," Reese said as she continued pressing buttons on the keyboard. Suddenly, some multicolored zigzag lines appeared on the screen, connecting the two dots. As everyone leaned in with curiosity, Reese had a revelation on what this might mean. "Could it even be possible?" She thought. She might have found a way to get to Egypt.
At Egypt, the alpha gang had already arrived and had already found the water stone.
Ursula picked up the stone. "I found it." "I found the water stone," she said. Ed and Zander had a sweatdrop, knowing they were the ones who found the stone. At least they saw it.
"That's the first step now." Zander questioned as he crossed his arms. Ed put a hand on his chin, not knowing where to look for the dinosaur. "Where would a dinosaur go?" He wondered.
"Well, let's get a bird's eye view," Ursula replied, as she looked at the two of them. while little the Tyrannosaurus yawns in boredom.
A few minutes later, The Alpha Gang's purple rocket was in the air once more. The device was shaking a lot and had many bandages, so it was a surprise it stayed airborne for so long. Zander looked out of a periscope pointed at the ground to locate the dinosaur. He soon was able to find the large, spiny theropod directly below them. "There you are," he announced.
"Perfect!" Ursula declared. "Zander! Drop the bomb!" She ordered.
"Yes, ma'am!" With the press of a button, the Spinosaurus would soon be seeing daisies. He pressed the button, and nothing happened.
Until toast popped out next to where Ed was sitting. "Yay, toast!" He cheered as he took a bite.
The other two just looked at each other. "Plan B?" Zander simply suggested.
"Plan B." Ursula explained as she opened the hatch and took the scanner. She looked over to her side and saw Terry dozing off. Ursula just rolled her eyes and clicked a button on the Alpha scanner, reverting Terry to a card, and told it. "All right, Terry. "Go get that Spinosaurus, now!" before she inserted it into the slot.
The world turned into a battlefield again as Terry landed behind the Spinosaurus. The theropod turned around and looked at him.
At the D-Lab, Reese had just figured out she may be able to transport them to Egypt in no time at all. The team was standing on a platform underneath a large lamp shaped like a dinosaur mouth, with Spike constantly running back and forth with supplies, while she explained her theory.
"So, let me see if I get this. You believe you can teleport us to wherever the dinosaurs are?" Max asked.
Reese nodded her head. "I believe the dinosaur search function and the transport function are linked together." Reese explained. "Now all we need to do is a test run."
"Is that dangerous?" Zoe asked.
"You'll be fine. Probably." She finished under her breath so they couldn't hear her. It didn't work for Zoe as she slumped over. Why did she have to be the sister to a genius?
"All of the technology is in here so just press the button and you'll be sent to Egypt." Reese finished as she wrote this down in her notebook.
"Don't forget me!" Spike said as he came over carrying an umbrella and spear in his hands. "I'm a paleontologist! A dinosaur expert could be really handy out there!" He was not going to let the opportunity to get a dinosaur of his own slip out of his hands.
While Rex and Zoe rolled their eyes, Max smiled at his dad. "Great! Let's go!"
"Yes!" Spike muttered to himself as he got on the platform Max and the others were standing on.
"Yash!" "Let's go get Spino!" Zach pumped his arm up while holding on to his hacked. and giving the dinosaur a nickname.
Max pushed a button and soon the outline of the platform began to glow. Soon Max and Chomp vanished without a trace as the light died down.
Everyone just stood there blinking as they looked at where Max was just standing before. "It worked!" Rex said as he made sure Max was gone by feeling where the brunette was with his foot. "For some reason, it only works on Max and Chomp." He turned to Reese for an explanation.
Reese began writing down in her notebook again. "Note to self. Only those with a dinosaur and stone can be transported."
Rex and Zoe nodded. They would have to wait for their partners to arrive before they could help their friend. Spike and Zach, on the other hand, had anime tears coming out of their eyes. "It's not fair!" they cried to the heavens. "I wanted to go!"
After almost less than a second after he pushed the button, Max's surroundings changed instantly. One second he was in the lab, the next he was in the desert. "So, it worked." He said to himself as he looked around. The place looked all painted over, like it was when the Alpha Gang attacked.
Chomp sniffed the air a bit to get used to his surroundings. These weird-shaped mountains, he'd later find out, are called pyramids. He turned his head and soon saw what they came for, and he wasn't alone. fighting the Spinosaurus, it was that same T-Rex. He fought not even an hour ago.
Max looked over in his direction and saw what he was looking at. "Aah! That Tyrannosaurus is here too!" He cried out
Terry roared at the Spinosaurus and charged, giving it a headbutt. The Spinosaurus gets tossed pretty close to Max, making him fall onto his butt. Max quickly steps back from the carnivorous dinosaur. The dinosaur in question quickly grunted in pain, and eventually a blue glow covered itself, reverting back into a card.
Max gets up from the ground and is about to pick up the card, "That was easy." He thought. But then, out of nowhere, a claw came and slammed down on the card. "That's not yours!" Max looks up, seeing the rocket. the cloud retracts back to the rocket. "Hey!" Max tried to get it, but he wasn't fast enough. "mission complete"
Ursula quickly ordered another command to Terry: "But now it's time for some big, fat revenge. Go on, Terry, get 'em!" She says this as a rocket takes off.
Terry looked at Max and Chomp and quickly charged at them. Max practically clicked buttons on his Dino-holder, successfully making Chomp into a card as it returned to his hand. He flashed it to look cool and slashed it into the slot. He even let out a battle cry as he did so. one that he created with Rex, Zach, and Zoe earlier that afternoon.
"DINO SLASH! ROAR, TRICERATOPS!
As he made his battle cry, lightning once again erupted from the slot. The smaller dinosaur went through his transformation before landing back in reality, full-sized. Max smirked as he landed. "All right, let's do this; go for it, Chomp!"
His partner roared as he charged at the Tyrannosaurus. Soon after, Chomp and Terry's heads collided. Chunks of earth came up from the ground as the collision shook everything.
After a while, Chomp backed away to go for a new approach. This gave Terry the opening he needed to grab the unsuspecting Triceratops by the back and throw him onto the ground.
"Chomp!" Max cried out.
Terry then went to his stomach and began to push him across the ground, ramming him into the Sphinx. He was constantly ramming him.
"No! Come on! "You can do it, Chomp!" Max cried out to his dinosaur partner. This was ending up just like the last fight. Soon enough, the Dino Holder screen began blinking red, and that was when Max remembered his secret weapon. "Right, I can use that orange card," he told himself as he pressed a button, ejecting the Move Card.
This however didn't go unnoticed by Zander. "Better watch out. That little brat's using his Move Card again." He told his team.
"What?" Ursula asked, clearly not remembering the previous fight that happened less than 24 hours ago.
Thankfully, Ed filled her in. "Remember what happened last time? He kicked our butts with that Move!"
Ursula then had a depressed look on her face. "Oh, gee, I'm so upset." The look soon changed to one of triumph. "Not! "I have a card, too!" She pulled out Spinosaurus' card from her scanner. "Ha, ha, ha!" Go!" She cried out as she slashed it. Only she made one fatal mistake.
one that Zander and Ed clearly noticed. "Ursula, no!" Ed cried out.
"You can't do that in here!" Zander added. but it was already too late.
The rocket grew until it couldn't grow any longer. It burst, sending the Alpha Gang flying in all directions as the Spinosaurus formed and landed right in front of Max.
The impact was enough to make the boy stumble over and drop his card. As he regained his composure, he noticed he was missing his cards. "Oh, no! My Move card!"
But before he could run after the cards, the large tail of the Spinosaurus got in his way, making the boy freeze in place and look at the dinosaur, which was giving him a very terrifying look. Max could only watch as his partner got slowly beaten by the Alpha Gang dinosaur. It would seem all hope is lost. "What now!?" He thought to himself as he covered his eyes, unable to see Chomp in pain.
Right at the D-lab, Rex and Zoe were standing on the teleporter, but they weren't the only ones. Right beside Rex was a carnivore standing on two legs with yellow horns on top of his head. The other one was besides Zoe. It was four-legged and had a crest.
"You ready, Zoe?" Rex asked his pink-haired companion, Zoe, who just smiled.
"You know it!" She said. Then the two of them clicked their Dino holders. The outline of the platform glowed once more, and then Rex and Zoe had been transported to Egypt along with their companions.
Spike and Reese looked over to Zach, who was looking at his dino holder as his hat had covered his eyes. They both exchanged glances. realizing Zach's mood had changed. Not even 10 minutes ago, he was super excited to see Rex and Zoe's dinosaurs. but now…
Zach's face scrunched up. "I'M GOING TO MISS ALL THE FUNNNNN!" He yelled in frustration. Spike laughed to himself, making Reese sweat because he thought Zach was upset.
It's been an hour since Zoe and Rex left, and the D-lab hasn't heard from them. Dr. Taylor and Reese Or were busy researching stuff, while Zach was bored out of his mind. So he began playing with his unusually stretchy body. Granted, Zach's body was originally pretty stretchy. Of course, because he had Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Now it was more stretchy than normal, almost like rubber, for some odd reason.
"Cool, my body is kind of like rubber," Zach observed as he pulled his fingers, causing them to stretch. But even this, playing with his unusual body, didn't kill his boredom. "Hey, Reese, what time are they going to come back?"
"I don't know for the tenth time, Zach," Reese responded. "You simply have to remain patient till they return."
The straw-hat boy raises his arms up in the air. "I have been patient." He rebutted. Zach receives no response from Reese. Spike notices Reese typing quickly and hard on her keyboard. Taking this into consideration, he walks over to Zach and takes a seat beside him.
"Zach, Let's leave Reese alone for a bit," Spike asked.
"Ok." After making Spike smile a bit, he then had a thought and began to smile. "Hey, Zach Who would you choose as your dinosaur if you could have one today? My prediction is that you'll answer with a carnivorous dinosaur like Saurophaganax, Gorgosaurus, or perhaps an Allosaur-
"Deinosuchus," Zach answered simply, as he was playing with his fingers. This caught Dr. Taylor off guard. "W-What!" He shouted.
Zach looks at him. "That's what he wanted me to answer, right?"
Spike quickly regained his composure, saying, "Yes, I thought you wanted a dinosaur as a partner; because I assume becoming a dinosaur king requires a strong dinosaur as a partner."
Zach untangles his fingers. "yeah," His expression changed as he became more determined. "Because I chose a Deinosuchus because it's the only way I can become..." Suddenly, Zach's stomach began growling pretty loudly, cutting him off. "Man, I'm hungry!" Zach gets up from the ground and goes to find the kitchen of the D-lab. Dr. Taylor blinks, he didn't get a real reason why Zach picked a Deinosuchus.
Spike gets back up and thinks, "Whatever reason you chose a Deinosuchus as a partner, it has to be some sort of part of your dream, ae?"
The monitor screen then began to receive contact from the D-team. Reese and Dr. Taylor were standing right in front of the monitor screen. Not even a minute later, it displayed Max on the screen along with Zoe and Rex. They explain to them that they're staying in Egypt for an extra week.
"What do you mean you're staying an extra week?" Reese In shocked to hear this news.
"Well, since none of us have ever been to Egypt before." Zoe reason.
"We might as well stay and do a little sightseeing" Rex explained
Max, Zoe, and Rex said goodbye as the call ended. "Hold on a minute!" Reese was annoyed by the kids' actions, not knowing the urgency of this responsibility.
Spike has his arms crossed "Let them have fun." He said.
"I'm afraid they don't understand the urgency of the fact that there are dinosaur cards scattered all over the world and it's become their responsibility to find them; for every card they find, another dinosaur is saved," Reese explained. Spike rubbed his beard and thought. understanding the reasoning from Reese.
"Good point, but they're still kids. Let them have fun with their youth." Spike replied. Reese pinched the bridge of her nose Eventually sized in defeat.
Back at Zeta Point, Dr. Z looked into his repaired test tube. Inside were three Move Cards with a Fire, earth, and water.
"Yes!" He cheered. "My ultimate Move Cards have finally been completed. Soon I'll have enough of these to make my dinosaur kingdom unstoppable!" He then laughed maniacally to himself before noticing something. "Shouldn't those three fools be back from Egypt?" He asked himself.
With the A-Trio, they were currently dealing with trying to capture a runaway camel.
"Don't dessert us in the desert!" Ursula called out to the camel.
"Lucky for us it's a rental, huh?" Ed asked, once again trying to lighten the mood and failing.
"Lucky for you! We put this camel on my credit card! Get back here!" Zander yelled as they chased the camel into the sunset.
A/N: Yo, I assume you want to know why this chapter was rewritten. I didn't like it. same with the first one too. Simply put, I have a bad habit: what I write down is going to be in the final version, and that's not a good thing. In general, I suck at writing.
Enough of that; let's get back to the main point, which is why I'm even writing this: I'm going to rewrite "Friend or Foe." "It's garbage," to put it mildly. Well, some of it is. I don't really like how I did it, primarily the character interactions with Zach and Suchus. It felt like Zach had talk no Jutsu Suchus to be on the team. which is lame as hell. Now I'm going to do it justice in a way and make strong edits and rewrite some scenes, primarily the flashback theme of the school setting; yeah, that's not needed.
I hope you guys can stick around. On a side note, I'll also do QA at the end of chapters if there are any questions, so ask away.
Read, review, and do that fav stuff too. and I'll see you guys next time!
